Actually, was it even your change, Corinna? I can't find it in the
ChangeLog.
Has someone come up with a patch for `mv' yet? If so, please send it to
me with a ChangeLog entry and I'll get it into Cygnus's sources and look
into getting it into the FSF sources as well.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I don't think there is any way to
modify Cygwin to work around the current behavior. This requires an
`mv' modification.
